FIND HEALING

FIND PEACE
It’s ok to ask the hard questions
How do I forgive when I’ve been hurt?
Is it possible to trust again after I’ve been betrayed?
How do I trust God when things keep going wrong?
How do I love the people around me the way God loves them?
Does struggling with my mental health mean that I have a lack of faith?
We all wrestle with doubts and fears in the midst of challenges. There is hope in the assurance that we don’t have to stay there.
We can help you find the answers.
How Can Christian Counseling Help?
When you are in a season where you find it hard to feel God’s love or understand why you’re going through a difficult situation, christian counseling can provide a safe place to have meaningful conversations about your struggles with someone who understands both faith and psychology. Together, we will explore important questions like, “Why did this happen?” and “How can I get past this?” Over time, you can develop a deeper understanding of how your experiences have shaped you and get the support and clarity you need to move forward.
Talking with a counselor can help:
If you’re looking for guidance to get through a difficult or confusing situation
If you’re hurting and you’re not sure how to fix it
If you’re going through a big transition or loss right now
If you’ve been feeling anxious or depressed
If you are looking for a sense of purpose or direction
If you are feeling disconnected from God and want to rediscover His purpose for your life

Fear of Stigma of Mental Health in Christians
When you’re worried about what others in your church or community might think about Christians struggling with mental health, we offer a private space where you can talk openly about your struggles without feeling judged. We understand the pressures you might be facing and can help you blend your faith with steps toward feeling better emotionally and mentally.
Loss of Purpose
If you’re feeling like you’ve lost your way or can’t find your purpose, we can help guide you back. By taking a deeper look into your life and faith, we can find what is important to you, align your personal goals with your spiritual beliefs, and help you find a sense of direction and purpose that feels right, both in your everyday life and in your faith.
Difficulty Engaging in Spiritual Practices
When praying, reading your Bible, or going to church starts to feel hard, we can help you figure out what’s making them tough for you and offer advice on how to get past these blocks. With support, you can make your spiritual routine more meaningful and personal.
Struggles with Forgiveness
Forgiving others or yourself can be tough, and we can offer support to help you work through these feelings. Together, we will explore what forgiveness means and tackle the emotional obstacles in the way, moving towards healing, and making peace with others or yourself.
Feeling Abandoned by God
We all go through periods of time when we don’t feel God’s presence, and we aren’t sure why. If you are in a season of distance right now, we can offer understanding, support, and a space where you can openly express your feelings without fear of judgment. Together, we will help you identify any underlying issues and explore ways you can draw closer when He feels far away.
There is hope for healing.
Why Us
Strong Roots Therapy
We believe that strong, healthy boundaries are the key to building the life you want.
The experiences you had as a child can quietly shape your life as an adult, often without realizing the beliefs that were formed as a result.
At Strong Roots Therapy, we prioritize inner-child work to gently guide you back to those formative moments, helping you understand their impact on the beliefs, patterns, and behaviors you’re experiencing today. We help you nurture a kinder, more gentle voice toward yourself – to develop the strong roots you need to grow into the best version of yourself.
Growing up as part of the Asian-American community, we understand the effect that family and social expectations can have on shaping you as a person. Our professional experience gives us the insight to guide and support you through your own journey as we work to de-stigmatize mental health in our community.
There is a real, authentic ‘you’ – we help you rediscover that person and guide you to living on your terms.
We are committed to offering therapy that is:
Authentic
Compassionate
Empowering

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you integrate faith and therapy?
In Christian counseling, blending faith and therapy involves using elements like prayer, scripture, and your personal spiritual beliefs as part of the healing journey. It’s about creating a space where your emotional health and faith are both acknowledged and addressed. We explore how your spirituality intersects with your mental and emotional needs, ensuring the approach is spiritually meaningful and psychologically beneficial.
Is christian counseling just for christians?
Absolutely not! If you are comfortable with Biblical truth being incorporated into your counseling journey, Christian counseling can be beneficial for you. At Strong Roots therapy, we are respectful of diverse beliefs and will tailor our sessions to your preferences.
What kinds of problems can christian counseling help with?
Just like conventional therapy, Christian counseling can address almost anything you are dealing with. It’s effective for managing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and spiritual dilemmas. It’s particularly adept at addressing concerns related to moral and ethical questions, forgiveness, guilt, and identity, especially when these are intertwined with your faith.
How's christian counseling different from regular therapy?
The main distinction between Christian and standard counseling lies in the incorporation of spiritual elements. While traditional therapy focuses on psychological techniques, Christian counseling integrates these with theological concepts, prayer, and scripture. This approach is more comprehensive, considering the spiritual, emotional, mental, and at times physical aspects of your life in relation to your faith.
